~Protection, Nurture, Glory~
1 Correction: Yesterday I reported that another new $12,000,000 was going to Ukraine without any handles on how it is to be used. I was thinking “billion” but typed “million.” That should have been 12,000,000,000. Those zeroes add up stupendously.
2 The hurricane: I am reading reports about it but they are amazingly sketchy. Journalists and reporters are not at their peak of performance during a DHE or Mercury retrograde period. As I write on Wednesday while the storm is wreaking havoc, the moon is approaching its square with Saturn while also in the Via Combusta. This is a peak period for bad weather or other dangerous happenings, as I have pointed out repeatedly and repeatedly over the years since I began these reports in 1999. It continues (without the Via Combusta but with the |difficult third|) through Thursday and so I would predict that an “all clear,” or “mostly clear,” signal may come by Friday, though I may be over-optimistic.
3 Thinking can be fuzzy at a time like this. Let us pray for the people of Florida that they keep their heads and come through this crisis safely and with minimal damage. Of course, it is also good to pray for other distressed people around the world, especially at a critical time like this.
4 Because of the “fuzzy thinking” problem — which can also be “unusually inspired and surprising thinking” — let’s do a sonnet again and hope the gods of the iambic pentameter will provide insight.
`
A sword drawn in an aggressive attitude is
A martial, quarrelsome signal of wounding.
A woman feeding chickens and protecting them from hawks
Shrewdly nurtures the valuable and rejects the worthless.
`
Hurricane or not, shellfish grope and children play.
Consciousness emerges from unconscious toward-hopes
Fumbling. Nature’s cafeteria serves surprising
Fodder at a time of transition, prodigal supply.
`
Two lovers strolling along a secluded walk
Enjoy what’s here and now without foreboding.
They enter a circular hall. A golden ball suspended
From the ceiling fascinates all, as does the lovers’
`
Charm, derived from sources they would not proclaim,
Secret founts of mystic glory for those well-favored.
